Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions
related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC41 Pulleys and belts (including veebelts),
Subcommittee SC 3, Conveyor belts, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization
(CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 188, Conveyor belts, in accordance with the Agreement on technical
cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 14890:2013), which has been technically
revised and minor editorial revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— Remove code letter G and its correspondent yarn from Table 5;
— Revise maximum number of longitudinal joints of Table 11;
— Include more tensile strength categories in Table 12;
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
tensile strength
greatest measured force during the tensile test divided by the width of the test piece
Note 1 to entry: It is expressed in newton per milimetre (N/mm).

ISO 14890:2026(en)
3.2
reference force
10 % of the nominal tensile strength in the longitudinal direction multiplied by the width of the test piece in
millimetres
Note 1 to entry: It is expressed in Newton.
EXAMPLE
Nominal tensile strength = 1 600 N/mm;
reference force = 160 N/mm;
reference force for 25 mm test piece = 25 mm × 160 N/mm = 4 000 N.
3.3
slab belting
conveyor belt made in wide widths and long lengths for subsequent slitting and cutting into narrower widths
and shorter lengths to suit individual conveyor installations
